Happy Monday, Friends!
Y'all!!! I am so looking forward to One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. This one will take us almost through September of 2024 since there are sixty reflections rather than fifty-two. I have looked ahead in the book, and if you haven't already, I suggest you do the same. There are lines for writing in it, and a journal in the back for counting 1,000 Ways God Loves You!
Can you believe that this is the beginning of our fourth year studying God's word and praying together?
Also, using THIS LINK, you can receive:
- “How to Always Find Joy” Frameable
- a Daily Joy Map & Planner
- a Family Gratitude Gift Jar
- a 12 Month Joy Calendar
- a Daily Joy Compass
FOR FREE! :D
I will try to download all the goodies by Friday so I can begin to play with them.
This week's study is entitled "Choosing Grace."
His secret purpose framed from the very beginning [is] to bring us to our full glory.1 Corinthians 2:7 (NEB)
Prayer Requests
- Please pray for Kitty's DIL that she will want to participate in family events. Let's not give up! Let's bombard God with prayers that He'll turn her heart!
- Pray for Kris's daughter's pregnancy and grandbaby. Both are doing so well!
- We have a request and praise from Carla, and it's an exciting one: The 157th and Sam are back in the states!!! They have to take sometime to quarantine. Then back to Wisconsin!!! :-) Please pray for the reunion with family and back to civilian life can go well for all the soldiers and family.

Happy Friday, Friends! Can you believe this is the last day of our study of This Life We Share? I've enjoyed this study because it focused quite a bit on relationships.
This week's reflection is entitled: "And Now, A Final Word (Or Five)." Here is the scriptural reference:
“Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial.”
One of the points of connection asks how would you wish to be remembered. That's a pretty heavy question, isn't it! I would like to be remembered as an encourager. That's pretty much it. What about you?
Prayer Requests
- Please pray for my health.
- Please pray for Kitty's DIL that she will want to participate in family events. Let's not give up! Let's bombard God with prayers that He'll turn her heart!
- Pray for Kris's daughter and grandbaby.
- We have a request and praise from Carla, and it's an exciting one: The 157th and Sam are back in the states!!! They have to take sometime to quarantine. Then back to Wisconsin!!! :-) Please pray for the reunion with family and back to civilian life can go well for all the soldiers and family.
- Please ask God to provide godly military leaders and members of state houses and congress. We need godly leaders in our country!
Have a lovely weekend!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Can you believe it?
I hope you've enjoyed this study.
But first...
Sorry, y'all. I have been trying a new way to post on either my phone or iPad since I don't have a computer at the lake. I cut and pasted from notes from the wrong week on Friday.
I am so sorry!
In the interim, I'll try to ALWAYS edit my posts, not just my notes on the app. Yikes! Also, I did correct Friday's post. ;P
I haven't heard from any of y'all (I don't think) probably because Friday's post was such a mess!
Please let me know of any prayer requests for Friday's final post for This Life We Share. The only thing I know of is to pray for fair weather across our country (there have been awful storms recently), and rain for areas of drought, like in Wisconsin.
Until next time...
Blessings!

Happy Friday, Friends!
We were able to sleep in a little this morning and garden before the afternoon heat. It was nice, and we accomplished quite a bit.
I enjoyed this week's reflection because it is about one of my favorite scenes in the Bible, when the hemorrhaging woman reaches out in faith to touch Jesus, and he literally feels his power go to her.
[Jesus] said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”Mark 5:34
Jesus called her daughter! This reflection is also touching as Maggie shares a story about foster children with us. God intends for us to live in a supportive community of believers.
Here are a few other scriptures from today's lesson:
Prayer Requests
- Pray for Sam and the 157th.
- Pray for our country!
- Pray that Kitty's DIL will decide to participate in family activities.
- Pray for rain in Carla's area. They've been suffering a drought.
If I missed any, please let me know. It has been a very busy and trying week for me. Thank-you!
Blessings!
